John Muir Quotes

A few minutes ago every tree was excited, bowing to the roaring storm, waving, swirling, tossing their branches in glorious enthusiasm like worship. But though to the outer ear these trees are now silent, their songs never cease..................................................................................................... Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where nature may heal and give strength to body and soul...................................................................................................... I never saw a discontented tree. They grip the ground as though they liked it, and though fast rooted they travel about as far as we do...................................................................................Keep close to Nature's heart... and break clear away, once in awhile, and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods. Wash your spirit clean......................................................................The clearest way into the Universe is through a forest wilderness.......................................................................................... The gross heathenism of civilization has generally destroyed nature, and poetry, and all that is spiritual.................................... The mountains are calling and I must go.John Muir
